Red Pepper Racing

As I have noticed the plastic door panels for the 1g are basically impossible to find...in an effort to repair the cracked ones I have now, does anybody have a go to method for doing such a thing...some help here would be greatly appreciated...Thanks.

Yes, I do. You'll need a dremel, acetone and some spare ABS plastic (from a broken header panel, fender, sideskirt or door skin). Usinng your dremel, make a channel along the crack (either on the back or face of the piece. Break up some ABS in a GLASS jar with acetone. Allow the acetone to melt the ABS and then use it as a paste to fill the channel you made. Allow to dry overnight. Re-apply if necessay or sand smooth. I found I needed to reapply at least once to fill air holes and such. I repaired all my sideskirts and door skins with this method and you can't tell they were ever broken. I think there are some threads on this subject if you look for them. Good Luck!

Oh, and hand sand - DO NOT USE A POWER SANDER - it will melt the ABS again. Ask me how I know.

I can also vouch for this method.
I saw his thread and have started repairing pieces myself with great success.


I also discovered that if you are missing a piece, you can put some aluminum window screen on the back of the piece,
and then build up the section with the same mixture.

That's genius...I never even thought of that....what a great idea...I will definitely be doing that, I will have to search for that link now to see this too. Thank you guys so much I thought I was doomed for a moment there...
